I didn't know the ARCs had already been sent out. I'm particularly interested in reading that because I haven't read the other books. I wonder if it can exist as a standalone.

I don't think it really qualifies as a stand alone. There are character relationships and events that precede The Last Jedi in the CN Trilogy.

The CN Trilogy you could definitely read without reading the Medstar Duology or Darth Maul Shadow Hunter._________________Roqoo Depot co-founder.

Currently enjoying myself immensely as I'm reading Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor! They talk enough about Vader to keep me happy and Han is hilarious! _________________We fight, we earn, we never learn. And through it all, the hero falls...

Currently reading Vector Prime I think I'm going to like reading about the Yuuzhan Vong, I took some advice early not to read the NJO and always regretted it. 1 book almost down 18 more to go_________________Mara: "Not many people Dare to hug me"
Lando: "That leaves more of you for me then!"

Who told you not to read that!? That's the best that has been tossed out by Del Rey so far! Its not all great, but overall its awesome._________________Perfection is a lifelong pursuit requiring sacrifice. The only way to get it quicker is to sacrifice the most.

I recently started re-reading NJO, though I've just been grabbing books at random. At the moment I'm reading the Dark Tide books, but will likely job to the Enemy lines after those.

I just finished The Clone Wars: Wild Space. It's the first Clone Wars book I have read and I am pleased to say that I found it quite amazing. It was actually nice to read a bit about Bail Organa and found the whole Bail-Obi-Wan rivalry extremely amusing. And I now have a new found respect for Obi-Wan after seeing how he suffered on Zigoola. I found Ashoka, as always, extremely annoying. _________________We fight, we earn, we never learn.

Wow. I guess it's been about a year since I read a new Star Wars book. My fandom took a nosedive after Apocalypse and none of the releases since have piqued my interest enough. However, I just picked up Scoundrels and will be starting soon. It feels good to be reading Star Wars again. _________________
